Yes i'm an eagles fan, but besides that, fantasy football changes you and you see football from every angle. Lets compare here...including your discussion on running the ball...even with w. parker. Eagles offensive line...stinks...Steelers: excelent. They create great gaps for their running backs. Their offense is based on the run. So when you're running effectivly and you only need to throw the ball maybe 20 times a game...you're QB rating is going to be outstanding. They also present their QB with ample time off of play action and other pass plays. So when Ben's stats are good, they are highly thankful to their O line...as well as to Ward, Randel EL, and last year...Buress.
Westbrook is a decent RB, but he presents an even bigger chalange to Defenses because of his ability to catch the ball in the open field and the difficutly to cover him. But you have to admit that if Reed ran the ball more, gave Westbrook more touch oppertunities...that he would be one of the best backs in the league. Look at his stats from last year...they were amazing.
And as far as McNabb...overrated?? Eat your words my friend. No one says he's the best QB in the league. Cuz he isnt. But one of the best?? You better believe it. 9(?) interseptions last year?? 30+ TD's. He's a fighter and he's playing hurt this year. That is where his weekness lies. He should have gotten his surgery earlier in the year, now its too late and we have to deal with a QB who isnt very mobile. If you're a Defensive coordinater...you base your plays off that fact. Denver showed that perfectly.
Anyway. Eagles have a tough 2nd half to the season...but if they pull together, they may still be able to make the playoffs. But injuries are killing them right now.
I see superbowl 40: Carolina vs Indiapolis

how can you say you're an eagles fan and not see the protection that mcnabb has each and every down. on the blitz, he used to step up and take the hit in order to make a play, but he doesnt anymore. McNabb inconsistency shouldn't make you see the o-line as weak. Is it their fault he takes 5+ secs to get rid of the ball? Even Big Ben doesn't do that, and neither did McNabb the last 4 seasons. If he doesn't step up with the next 2 games, the season is over...
